专辑介绍

by Tim Sendra

Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie Live album is built around a concert recording made in 1969 or 1970. It features White swaggering through a clutch of tough-as-rock blues and soul covers like Big Joe Williams' &Baby Please Don't Go,& Otis Redding's &Hard to Handle& and Jimmy Reed's &You Got Me Runnin'& as well as some originals. &I Want You& is a sludgy, nasty groover that has some truly scuzzy guitar solos and sounds like it could have come off a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion record, one of White's trademark swampy story songs &Roosevelt & Ira Lee (Night of the Moccasin),& and &When You Touch Me,& a slight and uninteresting jam. Too bad the whole concert sounds like it was recorded through a wall of steel wool. The vocals are muffled at times; the sound cuts in and out and generally sounds no better than a hastily made bootleg. A couple of the songs (&I Want You& in particular) show White to be a dynamic performer with a lot more guts than one might imagine. As a dubious bonus, the record ends with a version of &Polk Salad Annie& that sounds like it was taped off the radio. It might be an alternate take, maybe a demo, more likely it is exactly what it sounds like. It shouldn't be here regardless. Too bad a live version of the song isn't. This material has been released four or five times over the years by various labels.
